[RFC] mm: fix a BUG, the page is allocated 2 times

From: yalin wang
Date: Sun Oct 11 2015 - 22:40:36 EST


Remove unlikely(order), because we are sure order is not zero if
code reach here, also add if (page == NULL), only allocate page again if
__rmqueue_smallest() failed or alloc_flags & ALLOC_HARDER == 0
